0:00 my coach sent me some tape some video of him the night before like I was about to go to sleep and I was like I got to look at this in the morning was it like that you got surf tape when they're like yo we're here to call you guys out and I was like what how does he know my name and then you found out that he was like sleeping with your girl oh and I'm like I don't want to do this anymore this is not for me and that's when I pull out of the [Music] to welcome to a gold standard episode of the careful boys where today we have the return of Dick nun from the Olympics Podium first place at his jiujitsu competition y he looked so happy he looked very unimpressed you did I was unimpressed dude you're like I could have done better but can you can you walk it wasn't really a good first place can you can you give us not even at the
0:51 day of the competition you're prep your training like the whole mentality and give us the whole HBO special on Dick nun yeah so um I wanted to compete before we left to Cleveland cuz I wanted to get something in before the end of the year and I wanted to test that black Bel that black belelli you know damn is it true you were you were like is it just my friend giving me this or do I deserve it like I feel like you know I when I roll with other black belts I'm like okay yeah like I'm I I deserve to have this I think right um but I think competing is a little different for sure cuz not a lot of guys do it I think I black belt cuz it's really easy to be like ah you know you teaching at Academy you kind of lose lose that competitive Spirit a little bit mhm so for me I was like I want to I want to compete more and I in my head it's like this is when it really matters I think like competing at this level where fighting strangers
1:41 yeah but at at Black Belt I feel like it's it's a little bit different you know cuz it's a little more dangerous black on black yeah yeah bra on bra on bra cuz Brown's hella week so n it's that's still scary too like competing in general scary it's always going to be scary um but I just feel like it's an extra layer because it's black bellish cuz you get some guys that have been black belts for like years and this is my first years as of black belt so I want to kind of see just where I stand I want ████ up someone that's been a black belt for years no I didn't ████ him up I beat him on points so it's like that's why it's like but is there ever Knockouts in like usually it's like submissions so if you submit the guy then that'll be the knockout would be crazy punch him in the face oh lock Knockouts are IL legal um so I I told myself I was going to give myself like 3 months to prep for it probably a little too long I was like but it was uh just
2:31 ramping up training that's all it was oh it wasn't like a a like fight Camp time kind of yeah it feels like that it definitely does feel like that and as much as you try to tell yourself like it's not a fight you [Laughter] know just little because know there's a difference like when you fight in a cage and then you or you kickbox kickboxing is even to me is crazier um kickboxing is crazy MMA is crazy cuz all the variables and everything you have to train there's so much that could happen uh and for Jitsu it's like a little bit more controll and it's it's a competition you're just grappling somebody you're not getting punched in the ████ head but like if I get put in a submission and I don't tap quick enough I could like break my ████ foot I could tear an ACL whatever list goes on so it like that does be like oh ████ I better make sure I'm on top of it I'm sharp how do you tap when your hands aren't available you say tap but that's the thing is like
3:22 some guys you get guys where just double arm bar you they'll get you a submission and cuz what if you're like like this like and then they're going for your freaking thighs or some ████ some nice guys in comps when you're tied up like that and you're to a point where you're practically a pretzel and then they they submit you it's like a slow tap it's like I got you pinned you're controlled you're not going ████ anywhere so I'm going to slowly crank the submission till you tap right some guys just rip it oh so you you never know what you're going to get you can get the guy who's like kind of really nice you get the guy who's like which which kind are you I'm kind of in the middle I'm kind of like a sleepy guy like a uh I'm a slow starter for sure H he's a good cuddler it starts by he wants to make sure you're comfortable when you're tapping him I'm I start real slow I think so it's like it's like I'mma snuggle you and then kill you yeah yeah I try to do it that way or like you need
4:13 a couple matches to warm up that's kind of how I I am a little bit how many guys did you have to beat I only had one guy so that's the other thing too is like when you get to this age Division and um at Black Belt you just get less competitors so it's like in white belt you get tons of people to train to compete against blue belt you get even more and then you also have the disparity of like guys whove been blue belts for years so they can be really ████ good and they beat everybody up or you get brand new blue belts we had a couple guys that just got promoted like the week before that's like that's like a super senior or something yeah no honestly for sure and they're just beating the show everybody cuz there's like sandbagging that happens all the time people get held back um but there's it's less of that as you get higher because you you kind of get exposed a little bit right so um yeah Purple belt there's way less brown belt even less and then black belt even less people to train to compete against depending on the tournament you went to
5:03 how long was the match six minutes you were rolling for six minutes kind well seems seems kind of long kind of cuz that when you train for one you got to do like we'll do like five six rounds a night sometimes more so we'll do like those like five six minutes sounds long it it is imine six minutes of ████ that's ████ loud and the whole time you're just you're just gripping each other hella hard and you're just like so it was really intense the guy competed against but executed just like that just hella Spazzy DN but yeah so prepping into it you do have Focus like you you train very specific scenarios cuz there's so much different positions that when you compete against somebody you don't know what kind of guard they play like or like for instance like a style that they are they a monkey Style
5:55 guy are they a ████ crany guy that's tight but then you also have to understand like the Nuance of every guard and be ready to defend it or attack it if you're in those positions exactly I have a question can you smell the fear or the feet no I can smell the guy though he smell he smell bit like is there a point oh yeah yeah like like a mental break is there a point where you're just like like you're starting off strong and then and then next thing you know you're just like oh yeah yeah you're a ████ oh you're ████ sometimes that happens sometimes it happens but like is there point where you're just like I got you I think it's different at black belt because it's like everyone well it really depends it depends on who you get but the guy I specifically competed against he was really strong really like wiry At first so I was like okay I got to like kind of milk it I got
6:45 to like put some pressure on him and then once I I kind of stabilized a little bit you could feel every time we went back to the same positions he got a little bit more tired a little bit more weaker and then and then it's easier for you to make your moves from that position oh you're tendering the meat yeah you call them want to slow cook them want to cook them up little Asians baby ASI did he give you any compliments after the match like hey good job yeah he was really nice really cool guy he was like hey man did he give you any complications uh can I get your number makes it complicated in your relationship I'm questioning my sexuality about coming to the yeah like he he he he definitely was um but 6 minutes like to me is like it it kind of goes by quick so it's like for you to kind of unlock that puzzle of whatever that guy was that's why I was a little upset cuz
7:36 I was like man I I should have been able to get better positions on him um but like the re takes a while to like yeah at the same time too it's like you're you're trying to calibrate what's happening in front of you and then also just making sure you're making the right decision MH and then it wasn't until I after I saw the taper I was like what a ████ idiot I stay in this position way too long I should have switched before I made my move right so it's like little things like that that looking back at the tape you're like what a ████ you're studying your own tape 100% in the skill level if you were to like rate that skill level of 1 to 10 like being able to like read a situation and adapt quickly like where are you after this one I'm like a five bro you're a five four or five yeah you must be really good yeah also out of 10 is that what you mean I meant out of 10 I me out of 10 also like if you only had one guy to compete how was there a third place guy there wasn't oh there
8:28 wasn't there wasn't that was just my little friend friend I asked to stand up there no nobody was standing up there it was just me and it it was just like the left side and the come on up here little friend my little friend come on what what if you had to rate the other guy 1 to 10 skill-wise for his black for his was he hot that's all he about how handsome was he probably a seven for sure seven or eight he was good like cuz it's also too it's like just because you win a comp it doesn't mean like means you're the better guy are you familiar with you won positions and you you were able to dominate the or or dictate the pace do you know where the Jimmy's from uh my coach does my coach knows those guys there's so many different but there's I feel like there's less variables in Jiu-Jitsu than striking yeah kind of it depends though like it really depends on the situation
9:18 like like in any combat sport they always say like the Styles make fights right so if this guy has a really he had a really good bottom game so he stays on his back and wrap you up bottom yeah I like to be on top because it's easier for me to score points and kind of dictate the pace of the match cuz if you're if you're working on the bottom you're working almost twice as hard to get up and score and in your record when was the last time you won honestly the last time I won a gold was at blue belt which when when was that ████ like 2013 2013 is it blue or purple which one's above the other blue one was making the two look so purple and brown I've silvered a lot I've bronzed a lot yeah he said those a whole
10:09 other decade yeah no it's it's it's a it's a long time bro what up guys thank you for watching us for so long if you like what we do please support our patreon Joe tell them what we have to offer so every week you get two videos one never relased director's cut and another one too hot for YouTube patreon only every freaking week you get that and you get access to our Discord where you can come chat with us and ask us questions that become episodes here cuz we're going to answer them and we're going to take it seriously and we want to give you the responses that you want so come stay connected with us join our patreon click the description below for full details what is that for you personally like mentally like how do you feel like you know getting this dub I'm just happy that I made it through the camp and I competed and I got the job done like that's that's what I'm ex that's what I'm happy about but
11:00 when I look at the performance I'm like there's still a lot of work we got to do after that when you the next morning at the gym when you were opening it up did you was there a line of guys just like master I ████ wish your six-minute match of you just staying on top of that guy was really amazing or nothing almost happened the whole time are they going are they going to have your picture on the wall was nothing happened picture on the wall yeah you lard did you see like he did such a good job just standing on top of stayed on top of a guy the whole time and he tried to get you off him but he it was such an exciting match question is ran out of time how did you tap him out I didn't tap him I was trying to at the end of the match I saw I was like okay I got 30 seconds left I'm going to go it's like winning a boxing match from just like two guys hugging it out the whole time no it's like honestly what it is it's like he was throwing punches at
11:50 me and I was just moving my head of the he just could have hit me for 12 rounds was he really throwing punches at you no throwing punches and I just he just could have hit me he was throwing Spears and and Nick was like the wooo thing how how does how do you feel like the momentum will go into like do you feel like there's momentum going into your next match yeah for sure I I definitely want to compete more I want I want to do more of that um and I think probably I won't be able to probably until next year early next year you guys should all you should go to liard though it's a great environment I train with a lot of different ████ places and they don't have a bunch of ████ that are just trying to find new fresh new booties to ████ up all day Jesus yeah that does happen I heard that's a thing yeah it is yeah they just want people to like oh fresh meat let me kill this
12:41 person that's the other reason why you want like I want to compete too is like you just never know what else is out there so it's like you keep rolling with the same guys all the time yeah like you can get you could really think your your ████ don't stink your game gets St you guys have a environment where you're focused on like learning much quicker yeah so like the progress is Qui much quicker versus other gyms where like you go in and it takes longer to learn cuz half of the time you're trying to just stay alive from people who are like way better than kill yeah you don't learn technique you don't learn anything you just try to survive and then they're just like you just got to do more that's you know for real cuz sometimes like there there's there's a lot of gay keeping ass ████ in there you know where it's like I don't want you to get better but honestly it's not that fun when you roll with somebody that just can't do anything yeah it's really not
13:32 that fun so it's like you kind of want them you want we want our students to be able to like clap back and so the the exchanges and and the roles get longer and longer and longer get a little crazier a little more chaotic but at least they are learning techniques that they can do and that's the reason why when you when you when I want to compete at Black Belt like you feel that different level and you're like okay cool this is a good barometer of like where you're at and and and people who are secretly wanting to kiss Nick that's the close you're ever going to get you go to liard Jiu-Jitsu and then you say hey Nick I need training from you and then you can cuddle with them yeah yeah and I'm just trying to shove your head down the whole time are we allowed to can we show the footage of your match on JK on this yeah if you want if you guys want to ████ fall asleep you guys want to fall asleep for for 6 minutes there's really not much to happen good at cutting out
14:23 Deadtime the clip becomes 5 Seconds just the beginning and I'll send you the video what's uh what what do you feel like are the the very clear wins after like somebody at your level wins in a match like for example it's clear that if you know an athlete goes to the Olympics they they Podium they don't get paid money necessarily from the Olympics but maybe their country gives them this or they get sponsorships and endorsements or everybody's bound outside of their gym please teach me blah blah blah like what what are your takeaways from like when somebody wins in your industry well it depends on like the tournaments that you win like there's big tournaments that if you win like the world's the there's organization called ibjjf and the ghee and that's like the big um head honcho tournament so if you win one of those you're like oh ████ this guy's
15:14 World Champ blah it's like a big deal like for your Academy and all that but at the end of the day it kind of all doesn't matter what matters is how you how well you Market your game on social media for your business because at the end of the day so you've done a really bad job so far right I don't I don't that's why I don't run the marketing for the gym U our guy our guy Jeremy the owner does and our video guy Josh he does all that stuff but you know at the same time hey we do look that poster has been in like hundreds of episodes maybe a thousand dude Ryan ████ put it up so thank you Ryan Ryan put it up he said the kindra's one goes up next year though yeah we we'll rotate it we can just sell ad space like this I like how it's in front of the JK in the back that's hidden we even promote our own ████ yeah you guys should promote your own stuff more what would people do if
16:04 they saw that go watch a video that they're already watching I know no it's a reminder we have everyone else's logos that's way bigger than our own yeah definitely just want to compete at the end of the day like the reason why I signed up for this tournament is I just want to see where I was at I want to see what I needed to well do you feel like it was a good kind of feedback or like a mirror to where you are yeah I think um the last couple tournaments I go in and it's Point scoring system a lot of times when I go in I don't look at the points I'm like I'm just going to roll and it's like it's okay but it's probably not a good way to win tournaments because you know you you don't play certain positions it's that confident oh yeah you're that confident honestly in my head stupidly I was yeah but he's so bored of rolling with everyone at lionard he's like I need new
16:55 people to ████ up no not even but now at this one it's more of like okay Let's uh and now that we're trying to push the gym a little bit more and a lot of our own guys are competing I think it was a good example of like all right this is how we want to prep for tournaments this is how we want to approach it I just set the example for the for the other is there like a lionard chant that you do like colen colen our owner our fearless leader Colleen I'm very proud of you Nick you guys don't have like a defeat does not exist in this Geo oh yeah some Cobra ████ 1 2 3 BJ wait we we try to keep it pretty casual for some for whatever reason I think a lot of other Jutsu gyms are very like traditional we have to they're not even traditional you know that I walk in
17:45 I'm like you ain't ████ Japanese you just you're you're pretending to be Japanese hey you know what the new wave is a lot of like the legit really smarty pants you guys they call all the moves the Japanese names oh really so like we're going to hit him with the kazushi over here enter sakaba here and they say other like you probably know those words you ever you ever go in with the I'm a ████ you up mentality I try to I'm here to tear acl's only for me whenever I compete I have to find like the middle ground of like not be too amped up cuz then I make stupid decisions and then also not being too slow and chill and then another one is like I get bored in the match and I'm like hey look I'm going to do something crazy inside the map yeah kind of and then it ends up in a bad spot and you're like what a ████ idiot you know so it's
18:35 like so the more you compete the more you kind of you calibrate where how how of a dumbass you are and then just making those adjust adjustments afterwards cuz I think that's what all this have you ever done live commentary of Jiu-Jitsu matches or or I I'd probably be really bad at that you would be really great did you see how Bart did one of his matches and he won by no contest yeah he won because him and deem they wanted to do a barbell video where they signed up for a jiu-jitsu tournament without any training and I was like you guys you probably shouldn't do this you should not do that this is not a good idea but at white belt you can get away with it especially if you're kind of strong and you had a little wrestling and then they won by no both of them dude Nadem looked up arm bars the night before and then he hit a guy with the armar bro what but nadim's strong as ████ though Nadem has a wrestling background too yeah he's
19:25 strong he's strong he's big and he's athletic and he's smart so it's like he was able to put that together and then Bart didn't have anybody so he just got a gold medal and then uh Bart won cuz his opponent didn't show so that's why it's like you when you win a gold medal at these tournaments you just never know you just never know how legit it is I only have one guy if I compete against a couple other guys yeah but he was a monster we heard he was a monster he was good though he like like couple like like two versus one I was definitely nervous going in cuz my coach sent me some tape some video of him the night before like I was about to go to sleep and I was like I got to look at this in the morning so I was like looking at the tape and I was like oh this guy competes a lot so that made me nervous you know was it like that you got surf tape when they're like yo we're here to call you guys out and I was like what how does he know my name sup Nick did your stomach drop a little bit did your stomach drop a little bit after you saw the video in
20:15 the morning you're like oh ████ no but you your heart rate gets up and you just get like like oh you're about to ████ it's like when you find out like when you get a fight lined up and then that's another adrenaline bump but then when you find out the opponent's name and where they're at that that's like a let's ████ go and then you found out that he was like sleeping with your girl oh and I'm like I don't want to do this anymore this is not for me and that's when I pull out of the oh God this is too real hey congrats man yeah congrats Nick the black belt gold medalist wait till I win a better tournament dude Olympics yeah Olympics W Jiu-Jitsu gets in and break dance I'm going win my break dancing yeah usually when we you could represent Australia
